After a short hiatus, my blog is back. I was an idiot (or just too drunk) and forgot to renew my domain name over the holidays. Luckily I was able to renew it for a very very very long time and by the time it expires the web will be at version 3.1.0.2 anyway so it won't matter anymore.
I would like to point out that London Drugs has their annual computer book sale on right now. I was able to pick up Essential XML
by Don Box, Aaron Skonnard, and John Lam, Enterprise Integration Solutions by Devin Speckman and Mark Speaker and Oracle9i PL/SQL: A Developer's Guide by Bulusu Laksman all for under $15.
So I encourage you to go check it out at the very least you will end up with a monitor stand for $5.
